Welcome to Intentional Conversations, where we intersect diversity, equity, and inclusion with leadership and business.

This week we welcomed Tomi Fadeyi-Jones to Intentional Conversation as our guest co-host.

We talked about the importance of talking about DEI with your children, how DEI is very misunderstood, and Tomi shared her simple definition of what DEI means to her.

So, grab those headphones 🎧, press play, and let the conversation go!

Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel because we're all about keeping the great conversations flowing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

DEI is not always to fix a problem, sometimes it's to take you from good to better to best.

You are never done getting better.

DEI impacts every, single person and is very misunderstood!

Try not to say “BUT”, use “AND” instead.

You want DEI to be included in the by-laws because it takes lots of steps for it to change. It doesn’t need to be easy to change.

If we keep trying to focus on the ones who are not on board with us, we won’t make any progress.

The focus of DEI is we are all human, we are all people and the idea is creating environments where we can all be our best! It is not any more complicated than that.
